Toxic Holocaust was started in 1999 by Joel Grind with the intent of creating the most Evil Speed Metal heard since 1985. After the release of the first demo “Radiation Sickness” in 1999, TH went on a hiatus for a few years.
2002 saw the release of the Critical Mass demo. Boasting a hellacious reverb drenched recording and a Bathory cover, this was the first demo that was actually spread in the underground.
Gaining recognition with this demo, this sparked the release of the first full length “Evil Never Dies” in 2003 on labels Witches Brew for the CD and Nuclear War Now for the LP. After some EP’s and a ton of tours, finally came the 2nd full length “Hell on Earth”. Featuring cover art by Ed Repka and a guest guitar solo by Misfits guitarist Bobby Steele.
Then, even more tours and more EP’s followed, leading up to the newly signed deal with Relapse Records. Joel is currently finishing up the writing of the new record, set to be released sometime in early/mid 2008. Got lots more tours planned too.
See ya on the road!!!
